THE CORN -LAW AGITATION. (BY A TORY PEER.) While Daniel in Dublin is threat'ning Repeal, And Feargus doth Liverpool's Radicals prate to, All flocking to see a docked joint of the Tail , Per4lorming the part of " a Talking Potato 1" * Our City -starved artizans, clam'rous for bread, Me:et, menace, resolve that themselves are the nation ; While we, who are Lords, 'gotten, born, and bred, Are no better than highwaymen in a high station. The ingrates ! because we look more to their health, 'than to plague them with surfeits—the cost nc'er grudging.— Presitme—the poor devils—to glance at our wealth, While counting the hours of their penniless drudging. They prate of their toiling from morning till night, Their brats, for dry crusts often half the day weeping; But vre, who take different note of Time's flight, Arc: never so busy as while they are sleeping. Whai; l have we not lowered the duty on salt, 114:duc'ed the dog-taxes, and charges on tiles 1 - , . And threatened three Sessions to cheapen the malt? Al'], all to procure for us landlords their smiles I Have, we not taken charge of our aunts and our mothers, Whom Kings—Heaven bless them I—delighted to pension, To pacify Harvey, Hume, Gillon, and others, Whose names the pure lips of a Peer may not mention ? And lave we not lowered the taxes on reading, A boon so transcendent, that now it's much cheaper For lab'rers who think, and are persons of breeding, Than dining on roast beef, to dine upon paper. No w to all men of rank I would boldly appeal— I will e'n include Elliot the Corn-Rhymer—whether Atly practice in England should dare to prevail For improving the brains and the belly together? No, no ; if the Radicals must have cheap bread, Not content with cheap browsing or newspaper foliage, Our duty as Peers, both to belly and head, Requires that we treble the taxes on knowledge. * rid e The Sun of yesterday. ,aced t His Lord s hi p f orgets that t h e dog and tile taxes were re to benefit that spoiled pet of the aristocracy—the landed interest. COLONEL NAPIER and MR:VIN CENT (FROM A CORRRSPONDENT. The Morning Chronicle of Thursday the 20th, contains a -ti article relative to the above named persons, at the late !fleeting of " th e wor ki ng men " at B at h , which abounds nlis-st a t ements. First, it is asserted that Colonel Nap ier had no objection to Mr. Vincent's calling Lord John Rus- I ."' Sir Robert Peel, and Lord Brougham knaves, but w .uen the Duke of Wellington was so called, he expressed his anger, because the Duke is his idol. Now as Colonel jatatperier has often, and did at that time, avow his hostility !co the ph.uke's politics, it is a . misrepresentation to call the is idol. And why is Colonel Napier to volunteer a defence of every public man who may be attacked? 13NV'hat are Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell , . and Lord la i r r l ehanct to him, that he should run a tilt at the wind- Is for their sake ? They belong to political factions, let their factions defend them ! ileßut the Duke of Wellington is another guise sort of ts"-he belongs to England, to the world. Colonel Na pier has served under him, has had long and honourable a el Perktne e of his great qualities, and thus was bound to eciare that he was a brave and worthy man, and an illus trio was doubt warrior. T o ca ll the Duke of Wellington a knave, f i Cs 110 doubt a r idi cu l ous p i ece of scurrility, but to have i st ened t o i t with patience would have been baseness. It s indeed, i ndecent at all times to use foul language ; but to oplace Lord John Russell on the same sacred pedestal of ui t ness with th e D u k e o f W e lli ngton —to suppose that a ! ,name applied t o hi m , er to t h e ot h er persons ment i oned ePll occasion, should or cou ld exc it e di sgust an d anger tbe d egree that abusing the Duke of Wellington would l l :ite tho se feelings, is a notion which cou ld on l y enter t h e ad of suc h a bewildered Ministeri a l p ar ti zan as t h e Edi tor of th e .,,,..

Vincent, heard the latter use those terms. The Colonel Napier not only cried aloud in con tradiction of Mr. Vincent's assertion, but said he would le_titest the matter with him in face of the assembly ; and ,Z i w t ass actually mounting the table to do so, when Mr..V.in lug rat..,"P`'d down, and twice in a very gentle and conciliat sian -, " 11 " r said, " Be tranquil, 1 will explain the expres -11101 and he did so, not in the scurrilous, vaunting b ut s 0 unfairly ascribed to him by the Morning Chronicle, E , c, aloily and temperately, stating that he meant no per t Napier, that he did not assail the i ns of W e lli ngton ' s private character, but regarded all n e 1 who d en i e d hi m h i s rights in the community as politi -4' knaves. tlAgain, when Colonel Napier, after Mr. Vincent's speech 148 finished, addressed, and harshly addressed, the assem- Y with respect to what had passed, Mr. Vincent merely I)tatlPLl!ed, that he could not recede from his opinion as to the ti.uhlte character of men who denied him his political • t a ; but he was most anxious that the unanimity Whi c h as 0 . r ought, and, with the exception of this point, had, r..tacterized the day's proceedings, should not be inter cheers''i ed he would say no more.

Sta,—A Correspondent frOm Hanover maintains in your Paper of the 14th instant " there never yet was an instance of a Sovereign's ascending the throne in a state of blindness." But that is untrue, and since, as far as I know, nobody has contradicted it hitherto, I do so myself, and hope the rea d er will be pleased by being informed of an interesting historical fact : Colomanus, King of Hungary, after having defeated his brother, the Duke Almus, who had repeatedly contended with him for the supremacy, anxious to secure to his only son, Stephanus, tL succession to the throne, contrived to muti late his ambitious rival ; and in the year A.D., 1113, com manded the unhappy Prince with his only son, Bela, to be deprived of their sight and imprisoned in a cloister, which in better times had been erected at the expense of Almus himself. Colomanus died A.D. 1115, when his son, Stcphanus Se cundus, ascended the throne, who, in the year 1127 became dangerously ill, not having a descendant ; therefore some of the Magnates desired a sister's son of the King, to be heir of the Crown, whilst others .aspired themselves to the throne. But the King recovered for that time, and punished the 'for ward pretenders severely. En the meantime, overjoyed at the news that his blind cousin, Bela, was still alive, Stephanus solemnly declared him the successor, and, immediately endow ing with the province of Tolna, did join him in a wedlock. In the year 1131 Stephanus died, and Bela she Blind was proclaimed King of Hungary, and reigned till 1141, nine years and eleven months, when he died. His descendants reigned two centuries. The following sketch of his character is literally translated from " Pray Annales Regum Hun garim" " For the loss of sight, of which he (Bela) was deprived by the violence of Colomanus, he admirably compensated by prudence, firmneas, and zeal for religion, which he has exerted in the administration of the public affairs; and he might be ranked amongst the most excellent, Kings, had he not fallen a victim to the vice of intemperance, which, despicable for it. self, is most unbecoming in a King."

Stß,—Your successful exposure of the Coal monopoly on a recent occasion, and of its oppressive nature, along with the port-duties, on th e L on d on pu bli c, i n d uces me to hope that you will give publicity to a measure designed t) add still farther to these burdens. It will he recollected how decidedly public opinion was op posed to Sir Mathew Wood's propose, to defray the expense of certain metropolitan improvements by an additional duty upon coals ; but in spite of public discontent repeatedly ex pressed through the medium of your and other metropolitan Journals, the city authorities have obtained through the aid of Government, an Act of Parliament to raise a sum of 150,0001. upon the credit of one item of the Coal duty, for the purpose of improving the approaches to, and the site of, the Royal Exchange. _ _ _ A fund was raised by a duty of 4d. per ton upon Coals, to improve the approaches to London Bridge, and this fund it is calculated will be sufficient to defray all the charges upon it by 1858. It would then have been discontinued, and the public burdens would have been proportionally eased, but the Act in question continues the impost for a farther period to raise the sum of 150,0001., which sum may, probably, be doubled by the interest on the annuities which the authorities arefempowered to issue, and other charges which may be most conveniently saddled upon the Coal duty. I think, Sir, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is very much to blame in th;s matter, for the readiness with which he has conceded power to the City authorities to tax the community in an article so essential to health and comfort as Coals. The manner in which this Act was obtained, was calculated to dis arm public suspicion, and to suspend vigilance. It did not come in the shape of a demand for an extra duty upon Coals, although in fact it is so. It did not propose to tax any new commodity, for this would have created alarm and opposition. The public were entirely off their guard, and for Government to agree to the measure under all these circum stances was highly objectionable. But whether the money is to be raised by a tax upon Coals, or on any other article, the justice of such a step is questionable. Why should the inhabitants of Marylebone, St. Pancras, Islington, Mile End, and other populous districts around the metropolis, be compelled to contribute to the expenses of im provements which ought wholly to be defrayed by the Corpo ration of London? It is their property that will be improved —and their own funds should be employed on the improve ment. How little will the thousands pent u p i n a ll eys an d narrow dirty streets in the suburbs benefit by improvements raised at the expense of their labour, and health, and com forts? Of what advantage is a Royal Exchange to nine. tenths of the million and a half of individuals in and about London who are taxed in their Coals? To the London Corporation it is most disgraceful to have obtained such an Act for such a purpose. A body that expends tens of thou sands upon a civic feast, ought to shrink from the meanness, the despicable littleness of raising a sum of money which must come principally from the earnings of poverty—from hard, un remitting toil 1 London, Sept. 25. J K. I remain, &c. THE PENTATEUCH, &c.—GEONOMY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—It is on no inerudite ground I shall take my stand, being thus described by " The Translators of tl.e BIBLE :"--- " Out of the Original Sacred Tongues, together with compar ing of the labours, both in our own, and foreign Languages, of many worthy rnen"—" one more exact Translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English Tongue." At the same time I am aware that a revision of this version might be autho rised by our Queen ; and should bail the undertaking as a further check to interpolators, especially if each of the Mother Languages, " Britanniar.," shared the wholesome b ene fit o f a living interpretation. This exact Translation informs us that IN ONE INSTANT-- " In the b eg inning"—creation was entire, which physical nature is termed " the heaven and the earth." And here the respective disciples of Leibnitz, of Buckland, Curler, and the pre.Adamites, are entitled to occupy any demonstrable lapse of ages or uncertain hiatus. The narrati on th en describes the conformation if not re-formation, commencing from the period when "the earth was without form and void, and darkness upon the face of the deep." Light, or caloric, is the first deve lopment from the general laboratory o f matt er; a spec ifi c work, operation, or analysis , instantaneously resulting in the else inert mass from the fiat or mere determination of Divine WILL. Consequently, the opaque or non-luminous granules or globes were completely invested with an intermedium bound less as the universe. To confine to one orb, our earth, the consideration of this action,—let us imagine the liberated ca loric surrounding an isolated dense nucleus, whose liquid par ticles become conglobated about the fixed by equal pressure or expansive tendency which the light would exercise, and it is now the Omnipotent desire that total privation of the ca loric matter in any (every), our, system of neighbouring orbs should be effected throughout the exterior portion of extent appertaining to them : that condensation of light, or drifting of caloric one way, may be supposed to have halted at a sphe rical boundary of vast amplitude with the globe or globes it had rushed by, revolving on the confines of light and vacuity_ thus recorded:—" God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness be called Night.. And the evening and the morning"—the turning, or rotatory whirling (secondarily flowing from, say, that oblique direction of caloric particles each orb obeyed) out of and into the ocean of " Day"—" were the first day," or diurnal revolu tion. " The second" elaborated, at mid depth from " the face of the waters" (" deep" mantle of the central continent), the air—" a firmament;"—(v. 20. " and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven"—vr. 26, 28, 30., " fowl of the air");—by which " God" " divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament ;" making three concentric spheres about the inner part or core of the same globe. On " the third day" the inferior sphere, " the waters under the heaven," found en trance for part of its quantity at " one place" (qu. a Mael strom ?): the " Earth" and " Seas" then first forming a ter raqueous orb, encompassed with the Air and " waters which were above," enclosing all. " The fourth day" the caloric is precipitated upon the body of one—the largest—of this sys. tern's globes, and there revolving as an intensely luminous at mosphere, dissipates light with so swift velocity that when re flected from the other discs it even then proceeds with a rapidity that is hardly mensurable but from nicest data. Hence light being diffused from a centre, the night of any planet is found in the opposite aspect, being its own shadow. Origin (second cause) of the motion in annual orbit around the pri. mary is not a question necessarily involved in this discussion, but amongst our very imperfect conceptions of these initia, may have been produced when the division of " Light" and " Night" took place. To return : there seems a great pro priety in making mention of the other centres of systems— " stars"—where our primary becomes enshrined in the effluent (and probably comet-fed) cumulus of the most subtle agent in material subdivision. (Vide Milton.) Insisting, then, on the siderial, more properly than diurnal, rotation of a planet, ours, being to itself, and not as its annual revolution connected with the motions of ether bodies in the same system, it will be evi dent that I am not proposing to have it considered, whether we refer to Joshua, x., 12, or ii Kings, xx., 11, that the earth's year was prolonged by stoppage or reversion of its spin on its own axis ; and this I again assert is a collateral proof of the wisdom which dictated those records. " Aleph" and " Quaesitor" will pardon the imperfect notico I now take of a few out of multifarious difficulties which are strangely deemed appropriable to my shoulders ;—and with every respect for Geologists, much FROM SCIENCE, and much FROM THE ORACLES or TRUTH, may yet be advanced to demon strate the absurdity of their possible contradiction. I am, Sir, yours, BEREAN. DOVER, SEPT. 27.—His Grace the Duke of Wel lington gave a splendid entertainment to-day at \Valmer Castle to her Royal Highn e s s th e Princess Sophia Matilda.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1838. SPORTIN IGENCE. TATTERSALL' S—YESTERD4 Y. The expectation of some good racing at Heaton Park has detained so many speculators in the north, that business at Hyde Park-corner is altogether out of the question ; nor is it probable that we shall have an opportunity of making any quotations until after the ensuing meeting at Newmarket.

Some doubts as to the winner. A most excellent Hurdle Rae,' closed the sports this day. Miss Jenny Jones was the favourite: indeed, none liked to enter against ber, but Mr. George was pressed to enter his mare against her. They took the first and second hurdles beautifully together; at the third, Miss Jones was rather behind her op ponent, they kept company round the course; the fourth and fifth hurdles were cleared in fine style, but Jenny had received so much injury at the first, that she was obliged to be drawn, though backed at 5 to 1 at the commencement. Rather a novel circumstance happened during the Race for the Hunters' Stakes ; Mr. Smith, one of the stewards, had given his horse to a lad to hold, as the horses were starting; they had got about 200 yards, when Mr. Smith's horse broke from the lad, and followed them without a rider--kept the course without cutting off either of the corners—passed both the running horses, and actually came in first amid the shouts of the hundreds assembled, who did not enjoy the sport more than the " hanimal." As a party of gentlemen were returning home on horseback, in coming up the High-street, one of them, Mr. William Drover, who was on Mr. Denison's celebrated trotting mare, came in contact with a cart, the shaft of which entered the Mare's chest, to the depth of 12 inches, the rider was thrown to a great distance, and we are happy to say, escaped without serious injury, but it was the death of the poor mare.

On Thursday last Dr. Bowring arrived in Blackburn. ,On the following morning a deputation from the Liberal Operative Association waited upon the Hon. Gentleman, and presented him with a complimentary address, in which, after expressing their gratification at seeing him again among them, they requested him to attend a meeting of the society in the evening, at the Music-hall. Accordingly, at the time appointed, the people assembled in that spacious building. On Dr. Bowring entering the room, he was greeted in the most enthusiastic manner. Mr. G. DRWIIURST having been called to the chair, opened the business of the meeting at some length. Dr. BOWRING then stepped upon the platform, and was re ceived with loud and reiterated plaudits. Silence being re stored he said—Need I assure you, my friends, that after a separation of fouryears I co me among you with unchanged affec tion and unchanged principles; and that it is a delight to me to see and know that you are still willing to listen to the voice of an old friend, talking to you the language you have been ac customed so often to hear from his lips ? It is not exactly correct what your worthy Chairman has said, that I come again among you an unchanged man, for years bring with them weariness and sometimes dejection ; and I assure you that my first feel ing, in returning to this place (towards which I feel so warm an attachment, for the many kind welcomes which I can never, never forget), was that I was older and less capable of exer tion than when I first had the happiness of knowing you. But I felt this still more when I was told that the flame of Reform and of Freedom was burningless brightly now than when I first came among you, that the people and the friends of the people have betaken themselves to slumber, and that the cause of free dom is in a state of almost hopeless lethargy.—(No, no.) Arc there not still a few lovers of Reform among you who are determined that the people's cause shall not suffer, and that if the Reform Bill has not accomplished the end for which it was intended, that end shall yet be accomplished ?—(Cheers. ) But, Gentlemen, if we talk thus of our disappointments and discouragements, it shall only be with the view of encouraging one another; and if our enemies taunt us with boasts of antici pated triumph, we have only to tell them that we have a greater triumph in store, that we have the people around us and be hind us, and that a brave and determined people never were vanquished.—(Cheers.) It is very true that the people of this country have shown a deplorable indifference, and that that indifference has produced its effects upon the Parliament and the Government. But that indifference, I think, will not last much longer. The waves, indeed, are already in motion, and sure lam that they will roll towards Toryism only to overwhelm it. Though the people may now be apathetic, and Toryism apparently on the ascendant, yet I am convinced that ere long the masses will rise, as the lion rises after its slumber, refreshed and strengthened; and that Toryism, now so proud and vaunting, will be shaken off as the dew-drops from the lion's mane.—( Cheers. ) A movement, Gentlemen, has commenced amongst the labouring classes, and I find in many places considerable anxiety in the minds of the friends of Reform lest that movement be misdirected. I, however, as one of those who know the people, am willing to trust the people.—(Cheers.) I believe they will not be led astray from their true interests and their old friends, but will direct their energies to the removal of those abuses which oppress and grind them to the earth.—( Cheers.) My friend, Mr. Dewharst, has alluded to the monstrous and almost inconceivable injustice that has been done to the industrious population of this country by the abomi nable Corn-laws.—( Cheers.) It is a question upon which perhaps, I may be entitled to speak, for though not the repre sentative of any portion of the electors of Great Britain, it has been my privilege to represent the Government of this great country in remote and interesting lands. And what do I find ? Throughout the world a desire to receive the articles you manufacture in exchange for the produce of the soil.— ( Hear.) But what do I find at home? A law which says, " The industrious people of England shall not export their goods." They don't, however, call it a " law to prevent ex portation," but they call it a " law to protect the farmer." The proper title is " A law to make the people pay dear for their bread.—( Cheers.) It says, " You shall labour in vain, and the world, which is willing to receive your manufactures, shall not receive them." This monstrous oppression, Gentle men, be it not forgotten, which hangs as an intolerable load upon the shoulders of the honest people of England, is the result of Tory misrule.---( Hear, hear.) 'there are certain men in the world who fancy that the people have forgotten what the reign of Toryism was. They vainly imagine that you have such short memories as not to remember that Toryism oppressed you with a frightful national debt— took out of your pockets or,e hundred millions ster ling to pay for an accursed war, instigated for the sole pur pose of preventing other nations from becoming free.— ( Cheers.) And after taking a hundred millions to prevent America and other nations from governing themselves, they say that because this has been taken, we must pay five hun dred millions more in the shape of an abominable Corn-law.— (Cheers.) Yes • because we are t axe d f ar b eyon d any ot h er nation in the world, they insist that we shall pay more for our food I While at Manchester, I heard this system of robbery compared to a fat old gentleman going down Cornhill. . Per.. ceiving that he could hardly move along, a pickpocket seized his hat, and ran away with it. The old gentleman made an effort to follow him, crying " Stop thief, stop thief 1" When almost out of breath, another of the same fraternity accosted him—" Ah, Sir, can't you get on—are you quite out of breath ?" " Yes," rejoined the exhausted gentleman ; " a villain h:s stolen my hat, and I cannot pursue him." " Just right," said the fellow ; " then here goes your wig I"—(Laughter.) This is precisely the case of those who say, that because the people pay heavy taxes en account of the debt incurred by the war, they shall also pay an enormous price for their bread !—(Cheers.) Such reasoning as this never vvas and never can be successfully urged. You manufacture goods which you want to sell to procure food for your children, and I trust that all the sophistry in the world will be insuffic ent to divert:your attention from the crying evil of the Corn-laws. I assure you that when I urge the people to press this subject on the attention of the Legislature, I do not wish to see them indifferent or inactive in regard to other great, important, organic, democratic changes. I care not what fortress of the citadel of abuse is attacked. I care not where the breach is made, if the people can but enter in. All I desire is that the attack should be made at the point where the enemy is weakest, and where the people can bring to bear their utmost strength. Survey, then, the enemy's posi tion, and I am persuaded you must come to the conclusion that the weakest part of the garrison is the Corn laws.—(Cheers. ) You know, Gentlemen, in what way I have lately been occu pied. It has been in an endeavour to ascertain what can be done to extend our commercial relations with distant nations. A few years ago the price of corn was very low in every country except England—where the land lords take special care it shall never be cheap—whilst in many parts the: people were half naked, and their corn rot ting on the ground. Then, as now, the people of other nations were willing and anxious to send their corn in ex change for our goods ; but our Corn-law masters said— " What care wo whether the people of other countries are clothed or not ?" The propel' answer to this was, " Well, but if you don't care about the clothing of the people of other countties, you must remember that unless we send them our goodsthe people here must starve." But what care they whe ther the people starve or not ? What they Want is rent, and in that shape you pay thirty per cent. to the landlord more than he ought to receive._-( Cheers.) Why are other countries more prosperous than this? Why are the people of other lands, who are less intelligent, less industrious, less moral, less religious, in a better situation than the people of England ? Why is it that in other countries the labour ing man can save a little, after supporting his wife and family, to purchase the house in which he lives, a plot of land to cultivate as a garden, in which his children may run about gathering fruit and flowers, and in a hich he may sit in peace " under his own vine and fig-tree?" It is be cause the labourer is properly remunerated. And why is that not the case here ? Because you have to compete with foreign nations, who have no Corn-laws, and whose food, therefore, can be purchased at a cheap rate. You are, in fact, running a race with foreign nations with fetters on your legs. ..._(Cheers.) But, Gentlemen, this is not the only evil ten dency of the Corn-laws. A few years ago no manufactories existed in foreign countries; but now they are growing up on every side.—( Hear.) Then they were content to cultivate their fields, and to receive our manufactured goods. But a great change has taken place. They are now manufac turing for themselves, and the rate of labour being low, in consequence of the cheapness of provisions, they are enabled to compete successfully against us in their own markets. Don't you think that this is an alarming circumstance? Don't you think it is high time to look out for a remedy? And what is that remedy? Unquestionably a repeal of the Corn-laws.—( Cheers.) At present you pay more by 30 or 40 per cent. than you would do were this abomination re moved; and to this extent it is a profligate robbery upon the industrious people of England.—( Cheers.) But, Gentlemen, how are you to get rid of this grievance? There is a maxim which contains a great deal of wisdom, and which, I hope, will never be misinterpreted, that these who lend their ear to the suggestions of the incendiary have put themselves in a situation to be visited by the law. The people should re member that they have always been the sufferers by such men. I deprecate beyond all things the exercise of violence. I would never consent that the people should take what is called the law into their own hands. There is a means of success far more efficacious than this— agitation.—(Cheers.) A well directed system of agitation never yet failed. It is infinitely more influential th an t h e sword or the bayonet. The power' of public opinion, on a subject which the people understand, can never be long r esisted.—(Checrs.) I need not say that in my opinion the question, now in course of agitation by the people contain the true principles of Government. It is downright absurdity to say that we accepted the Reform Bill as a " final measure." The people took it, as I think they ought to take any measure of Reform, as an experiment. If the power granted be not sufficient—and that it is not who can doubt ?—to remove abuses, to give the people cheap food, to secure to them the result of their honest labour, to 'ensure them cheap laws, cheap knowledge, and cheap govern ment, I for one will demand on their behalf some further or ganic changes. These arc the ends of all good government, and with anything short of them the people ought not to be contented.—( Cheers.) I have heard some men say, "We will either have all that we want or nothing : we must have twelve millions of voters." Now, my system is to get what I can. Do you think I should be right in refusing six millions of voters if I could not get twelve ? Don't you think that if we had six we should have a better chance of getting twelve than we do at present ? If we take possession of an enemy's country we cannot accomplish it all at once; we must first take one province and then another until the whole is secured. I will not, however, quarrel with a man because he may say, " I do not approve of your Universal Suffrage, but I am will ing to reduce the franchise to 51. ' Such a man lam willing to receive as a friend of the people. Whenever our Tory enemies show weakness, attack them in the quarter where they are most vulnerable. I don't care where the attack is made. I want to see where we can have the greatest quantity of troops and the most efficient leaders, and, when the dis covery is made, to attack the foe with all the force and skill we can coritinand.—(Cheers.) , But I anticipate, Gentlemen, that the time is not distant when we shail have less difficulties to contend with. If lam not mistaken, society will ere long be divided into two classes only—one for, the other against the people ; and that minor differences will disappear.— ( Cheers.) I cannot doubt upon which side my friends in Blackburn will be found. I believe that before the expiration of two or three years the Ministry will be purged of some of its impurities, and that the Government will be carried on amidst the hurras of the people, because I am sure the people will always be indulgent, not severe towards a e Ministry nea l welfare.—(Hear, foarle._ abozz, ea w r, ith honesty and zeal, to promote the gbear.) They will be willing to take into account the difficulties and prejudices at Court— the influence of the Bishops —and the tremendous power of the House of Lords and others of the aristocracy, which throw almost overwhelming difficulties in the path of Reform.— ( Hear, hear.) A few years ago the people of France had the power in their own hands of securing a good and popular form of government, but they soon lost the "pearl of great price." When, however, the people of this country obtain a privilege, they do not so readily lose sight of it. If you ob tain anything good you will preserve it. What you have ob tained of value from your fathers you will hand down to your children, because when you are oppressed you have a spirit to resent the oppression —you don't like the pinching of the des potic shoe ; and I trust that by and bye you will shake offevery vestige of tyranny. My friend, the Chairman, has referred to my recent engagement in the service of the Government. Often, I assure you, did I turn an anxious eye to watch what you were doing when I was wandering far away in those coun tries of which you read so much in your Bibles, which are still what they were in the time of the patriarchs ; where you may drink at the same well where Jacob drank; where you may still find the spot where Abraham wandered with his flocks and herds ; where you may see the bricks without straw which the children of Israel made ; and where you may wander through the temples in which Moses and the Patriarchs walked. At one period this land was a wooded desert, peopled by savages, without clothing, without comfort, and without shel ter. Their abodes were the caves of the rocks—their com panions the beasts of the field. At a more remote period, Egypt became a land of glory, of science, and of knowledge, giving laws to Greece and Rome, scarcely yet born, and spreading its civilisation through the world. And now again, Gentlemen, what changes have come on ! You, the descendants of those savages—you, whose habitations cover the ground which was then a waste—you are now send ing garments to the descendants of those Egyptians, who arc thus indebted to you for the clothing which they wear. But, Gentlemen, what does Egypt produce ? It pro duces grain, as in the days of the Patriarchs. You know who it was that went to Egypt for grain for Jacob and his children. There were no Corn-laws then, but now they will neither let Jacob nor you hare it. The Corn-laws say you shall starve rather than receive it from the granary. What do the Egyp tians say ? In Syria, and in all parts of southern Europe the remark is, " Take the produce of our soil and give us your manufactures in return." But what do the landlords say ? " They shan't have them, and you shan't have their corn. Let them manufacture for themselves, and let us supply you with corn." I return to this again, Gentlemen, because it is incon ceivable how long this oppression has been borne with. You have been paying ten or fifteen millions, which have been torn from the sweat of your brow, and which, had you been allowed to save it, would have enabled you to retreat in comfort in your old age, when you are no longer able to labour for yourselves. It is astonishing how long the English have tolerated it. Doyou intend to tolerate it much longer ?—(No.) Then petition tell your Members what your wishes are. The people of Scot land are up—the people of England are rising—and do you believe that when the people say that the grievance must be redressed, it can continue? Do you believe that when the people know the cause they will suffer themselves to be kept at the starvation point, and in a condition from which they cannot rise while the curse remains ? I dwell upon this topic, Gentlemen, because itis prominent in my mind ; for, having seen the effects of the Corn-laws upon your condition, and having traced them also in foreign lands, where I have seen whole districts where the corn would hardly pay the price of the sickle that gathered it, in consequence of the want of a market, I feel constrained to oppose the monstrous injustice. (Cheers.) As to the farmers, I don't believe it would injure them in the least. At present every penny that can be got from the land goes into the pockets of the landlords, so enor mously high are the rents, so that were the Corn laws removed, a diminished rent-roll must be the conse quence. But, say the aristocracy, we must not be dependent upon foreign countries for our supply. What I are we not de pendent upon foreign countries for our cotton, wine, tea, coffee, wood, an d a t h ousan d ot h er art i c l es, yet who feels any dread that we shall ever be deprived of them ? Away with such sophistry ! Abolish the Corn-laws, and you make friends with the whole world. —(Cheers.) The effect of their removal would be to raise wages in other countries, and thus you would be enabled to start fair in the race of competition. What I cannot tolerate is that you should pay 70s. instead of 30s. per quarter for your corn. Justice must be dotie. I would do no in justice to the landlord. He appeals to the vs - L.' in which he is taxed as a justification of the Corn-1 Avis. There can be no greater fallacy than this. In France the landlordspay one-half of the taxes, and in no country in the world do the landlords pay so liqlo in the shape of taxes as in England. How do they get forty millions of revenue ? The most of it unjustly falls upon the poor, not upon the rich.—( Cheers.) Gentle men, I have been talking too long, but when I come here I feel myself at home.-2( Cheers.) I know it was not the fault of the people of this borough that caused me to be dis associated from it, and again I thank them for the kindness they have so often shown tne. I assure them that their inte rests and prosperity are dear to me, and that I feel anxious at all times to convince them how strong are the bonds which bind me to them and to our common country. Three cheers were then given for Dr. Bowring, and after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated. A banquet having been hastily got up in the course of the day in honour of the Doctor, nearly 200 of his admirers as sembled in the large room at the Golden Lion Inn, Church street, after the above meeting, James Pilkington, Esq., in the Chair. THE COLOssEUM.—Under the management of Messrs. Sloman and Goodman, this establishment is growing into theatrical importance. What is technically termed a good working company is engaged, and their attraction, aided by Mr. Leman Rede, Mr. and Mrs. Manders, and Mr. Salter. The Rakes's Progress has been played there since Monday to crowded houses, the chief novelty in the cast being the re-assumption of the heroine by Mrs. Manders (who was originally in the piece). The drama has been rap turously received, and a good ballet winds up the evening's entertainment very agreeably. The adjourned inquest touching the death of an illegitimate child, the dead body of which had been carried about by the mother for several hours, was resumed yesterday, but no material evidence beyond that which has already ap peared was adduced, and the post mortem examination of the body having shown that the child had not come to its death by violence, the Jury returned a verdict accordingly. The Coroner, at the request of the Jury, severely reprimanded the parents, observing, that though there was not sufficient evi dence to send them to the Criminal Court, yet their conduct had rendered them liable to much suspicion. An adjourned inquest was held last night at the London Hospital on the body of a woman named Jones, aged 42, the wife of a mechanic. The husband of deceased, who had been accused by common rumour of having thrown his wife down stairs, deposed that she used to get drunk and fall about the streets, so that on more than a hundred occasions she had been carried home by the police. On Monday fort night, while intoxicated, the deceased fell down stairs, but he did not hear her complain of apy particular injuries she had received on that occasion. She subsequently complained of paralysis, and he assisted her to the hospital, where she died in a day or two afterwards. The husband added that the re port of his having thrown the deceased down stairs had been circulated by her sister, who lived at the west end of the town, with the view of injuring him. A pupil of the hospital deposed that the deceased died from the effects of paralysis and internal chronic disease, which were the result of ex cessive drinking, and the jury returned a verdict of" Natural Death." THE MONMOUTHSHIRE BOROUGHS. Mr. Whately, the revising barrister, has been on his circuit in these boroughs, and it is roost gratifying to find that the Tories seem at length determined to profit by the severe lesson they were taught at the last election. Not a single objection was made by them at Monmouth ; and it is a perfectly well under stood fact that they have permittcd some of their best votes to lapse by neglecting to pay the rates. In truth the signal overthrow they received from Mr. Blewitt has induced the resolution to no more contest the boroughs with him. He came into the field at the last election three weeks after his opponent Mr. Bailey, the present member for Sudbury, and although Sir Benjamin Hall only triumphed on a former occa sion in Monmouth by a majority of four, Mr. Blewitt was returned by a majority of fifty-four, so great was the influence of his character over the constituency of the united boroughs. Mr. Blewitt is the representative of one of the oldest families in the county, and is a gentleman of independent fortune, an influential banker, and possessed of considerable talent and energy. His votes during the late session prove him to bl te a sound Reformer; and, indeed, aga i ns t suc h a ma n it I s quite clear no Tory candidate will have the slightest chance of success. _ FALMOUTH, SEPT. 24.—This mornin g d his on Highness Prince George of C am b r idge 1 ) the Braganza, Peninsular steamer.

AQUA VIT/E.—The name very absurdly given to alcohol, when used as an intoxicating beverage.
